[QUOTE="ksm, post: 719386, member: 12511"] Have you and your wife started exploring where your son will go after the hospital is ready to dismiss him? Home? Outpatient therapy? Residential? There should be a social worker on staff that could help you learn of the options available. I know it's too soon to know exactly what his after care will look like... But not too soon to find out what your insurance covers. Since he us a minor, your state may have some options you might apply for. After our Difficult Child made a suicide attempt (mostly an attention seeking move and not in real danger) and we qualified for a medical card secondary to our BCBS ins. It has helped to pay for things our insurance did not. It's called an SED waiver in our state. If approved, it will go back up to 90 days and help cover things not covered by primary insurance. I know that his parents are focused on the day to day issues in the present time. But it will be hard when he is released...will they be comfortable leaving him at home while at work? So many questions... Not trying to overwhelm you...just wanting to give you and his mom more time to think things thru. I know his mom and dad will be making the big decisions...and you will be helping to support them. I hope they can all get in the same page and support your stepson and each other. Ksm [/QUOTE]
